It's plain I repair clumsily (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

prairie

'it's plain' is the definition.
(type of plain)

'i repair clumsily' is the wordplay.
'clumsily' indicates an anagram.
'i'+'repair'='irepair'
'irepair' is an anagram of 'PRAIRIE'.

(Other definitions for prairie that I've seen before include "Large open area of grassland in the US" , "Barren plain" , "Continental grassland of N America" , "Large tract of grassland in N America" , "Cowboy song: ` `Bury me not on the lone .......' '" .)

I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail.
